PHOTO: Becky sleeping in the back of a camper

     This is Becky asleep in the back of a camper with the tailgate down. I asked her dad to take the shot and what I wanted was for him to back off so you could see the camper shell around her. But he didn't know that and I didn't know that isn't how he had composed it until we got the film developed days later so this is all we have.
     She's cute anyway, even if you don't know the context--which of course now you do.

PHOTO: Becky with latch hook

This is one of my very favorites: our daughter Becky doing latch hook when she was maybe seven. I didn't know anything about lighting at the time--it was lit only by the floor lamp beside her--but I like the mood it gives. It won second place in a local photography contest. Notice Boots on the arm of the recliner?
